I'm a bit off-put by your tone, but no, I was being genuine. Saying it doesn't resonate means whatever was said doesn't seem as profound or meaningful as it does to the person who said it. So the phrase really means that you want to shut everyone out? I guess that makes sense, given the hostility in your response.
You read me wrong my friend. It was nothing more than an honest-to-goodness reply to you. No hostility. Be careful with written discussions, because you don't see the face of whoever is writing and you tend to slap the state of mind you yourself are in when you read it. Imagine I'm writing this with a smile and that's pretty much how I wrote it.
You don't find the quote profound and that's fair enough. To each his own opinion. Me, I think it's a perfect description of the core issue of privacy: having the choice not to expose what I don't want to expose for no other reason that I don't want to. I don't want to shut everybody out, I want to freedom to do it if I so choose and not have to justify myself or suffer consequences.
Maybe I'm easily impressed :)
